Those readers who have experimented with winding their own inductors will know that it’s not an easy task, and when those inductors are handling high voltages it can be especially tricky to maintain ...

PCB inductors are a subject that has appeared here at Hackaday many times, perhaps most notably in the electromagnetic exploits of [Carl Bugeja]. But there is still much to be learned in the creation ...

Planar spiral inductors are less expensive than eitherchip or coil inductors for PCB (printed-circuit-board)-based designs. Accuracy in designinga spiral inductor is important because it isdifficult ...

The availability of high-performance, passive components strongly influences the design of electronic circuits. Reactive components such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers are widely used for ...

Planar transformers have been around for many years, and I have often wondered why they are not used more frequently. These usually SMT devices have a distinct density advantage and a high-frequency ...
